Little Water Baby

Dancing. [open]

Can't sleep. The blonde couldn't sleep and it was late. She was just restless, though, tired it seemed. Too much on her mind, not enough on her mind, never in between. So she coddled herself in layers of clothing and cloth, keeping herself warm before heading out with a thermos of cocoa. Thumbing it, she walked through buildings and hummed to herself, just looking around at the night life of the school. The late night night life. Crossing a hall, she saw the man that once had her on the roof top, just talking and exploring the small expanse. He was dancing and it made her giggle, but he was good. Cleo enjoyed watching him until he landed on his bottom.

[smiles warmly and snuggles closer, resting her head on her shoulder] And warm.

[giggles] I would hope so.

Put one of these in my ask! (Fluffy)

Send me a characters name and I'll rate them and your blog:

I will consume it with great care.

W-wonderful. I'll give it t-to you tomorrow. Good n-night Miss Flaversham. [walks away]

[smiles brightly and wraps her arms around the other blonde] Like this. Keep me in your arms and I am always yours.

[wraps her arms around the blonde in suit] Sounds nice.

Jack bit his lip as he watched her struggle, stepping a little closer. “Cleo..” He said softly, shaking his head as she wiped her eyes. “O-Of course I would.” He insisted and looked down at his hands for a second to gather his strength. Watching Cleo cry took a lot out of someone, especially if you knew the girl. How sweet and caring she was, the cute way she blushed…the kind of girl he wished nothing but carefreeness for. He nodded quickly, looking back up at her sad eyes and smiling encouragingly. “Sure I can, easy peasy. Just a few compliments, taking you out…the best way to gather confidence is to talk to people. So I’ll introduce you to loads of my mates, I could be your wing-something.” He said with a little chuckle and stepped even closer, embracing her in a tight hug.

Sad. Jack hated sad and she was trying so hard to be happy for him. She hated being sad as well, especially when people acted this way when she did. Her smile twitched on her lips as he insisted and looked away. Honestly, Cleo wanted to just perk up and be better in a snap, but that, frankly, was not possible. "I d-don't know about easy, Jack... S-something that's lasted this long c-can't possibly go away so quickly." Her fingers twiddled as she looked down for a moment. "Wing-something? She giggled lightly. "A-are you trying to set me up?" Her brow quirked as she watched him and tried to blink her tears away. What a curious and silly thing to do. Cleo hugged him carefully, holding onto him tightly as his arms wrapped around her in the embrace.

Perfect, I think this V-day will be the best one ever.

M-me too. I-I have to go, but here before I go. [hands her a present of a charm necklace with a top hat and crown along with other charms of memories she had with Alice] Merry Christmas.

Really? I could hug you right now! *shoves another oreo into her mouth*

Really. *hugs* I'll send it to y-your room if I don't see you. S-so make sure to take care of it.

I want one. 

I'll go m-make you one and have it to you t-tomorrow.

You don’t have to make it! Just, what is it?

I do. I-it's ice cream in the form of cake with fudge as the c-cake layer like c-cake has frosting.

Jack’s eyes widened as she backed away and he stepped back a bit, blinking uncertainly, before he smiled a little. She probably didn’t feel properly comfortable with people so close to her anymore, and who could blame her after all that had happened? Everytime she spoke it reminded him of the scars and bruises he’d laid eyes on when he visited her in the hospital, all alone and pale. It made him sad to think about it, so he stopped before he could upset himself again.

A small smile tugged at the corners of Cleo's lips as Jack commented. He always knew how to make her feel better about herself, just the way she is. Jack liked her just like that and that's why she always had the semblance of feelings for him. Ones she knew would go nowhere, he flirted with her at least she thought so, but... He also seemed the type to break many hearts and part of her new he would never want to do that to her, so he would leave her alone. And so she did the same, not pushing something that wasn't wanted nor needed. As shown by others, Jack wasn't an only chance, he was the unattainable. All girls had that, celebrity crushes, unattainable perfect love that they could daydream about and Cleo used to, not often but she had one once, then let it go. It wasn't her job to push him to something and there also seemed to be something else there with him, a tension like he did love, but he shouldn't and she knew it was not with her. She wouldn't be second choice. She'd just be the one that sweet boys took out then decided they didn't want. Everyone learns life lessons some way.
